i know the old turn the leaves over method and take some out whatever
just wondering from people with experience
how many leaves are good and how little arent
i have 2 inch blocks which are gonna go ,
i will flip the eyes but wondering about how many leaves are good
seen blokes put the leaves upside down but?
mines a ute so i guess i have alot ,and could lose some
but i dont want a spongey arse end cause its nice right now
i know how to de arch springs by the way
so de arch and reversed eye i wanna lose about 4 inches?
any input appreciated...........thanks
any tales of lowering too much or funny stories also appreciated

Send them to dumbrell springs at newcastle and have them re set as low as you want stick to your ute springs.
Pete

check this out dave,
theres a better one i can find ya if ya more interested.............
and pete ,
i really appreciate that mate
so those springs are what? 80mm or so from flat yeah?
i am a bit wary of lowered springs as i put them in my hd when i was a kid,
they were meant to be inch and a half lower and they actually raised the car
(the standardones obviously were sagged)
i am very fussy and i want it about 1 1/2 inches lower than where it is now
and i have 1 3/4 blocks
so 4 inches would probably do it
might be time for a new tunnel
If i own them there low. ;D
thanks for the comments.
